Audience Member good and highly recommended Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Janis E This cast couldn't be more perfectly cast as Guy Pearce plays the straight man Exley exceptionally well as we see how his penchant for doing the right thing makes him a target for the rest of the cops even as he begins to uncover how far the corruption in this town goes, but Russell Crowe as Bud White is amazing and definitely should've gotten a nomination for Best Supporting Actor as he is a rage-fueled cop who has some very shady ways about him but at heart is a good cop with a disdain for men who abuse women. This makes him a perfect counter to Kim Basinger's Lynn Brackens who ended up winning a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for this film as the classic femme fatale character but one who just seems to be a victim of her circumstances as she works for a man who makes the sex workers get plastic surgery in order to look like movie stars, something that's truly dark the more you think about it and Kevin Spacey as Jack Vincennes gives us a man who has becomes so enamored with the veneer of his image that internally he's lost his soul in the process as becoming a celebrity has overtaken being a great detective. This story has so many twists and turns that only add to the mystery and make it better as the film progresses and despite how much you can see the huge twist coming, it's still a pretty shocking revelation and by the end it's one of those mystery films that will make for a great rewatch on many occasions.

If you haven’t seen it yet, I’m jealous you get to watch it for the first time! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review F P Takes a few viewing to recognize how timeless it is. Get into a noir-nostalgic mindset before you watch it, and you'll certainly enjoy it. At the time the movie come out in cinemas, it didn't feel contemporary and in touch with the zeitgeist. However, this is the kind of film that stands the testament of time.
